Up to 30% of women will return with recurring symptoms due to an inaccurate initial diagnosis (Ref 1). This, coupled with many women attempting to self-diagnose and use an over-the-counter treatment plan only to have recurring symptoms, stresses the need for an accurate test the first time.
CellSwab is a single swab test for Vaginitis, Candida and Trichomoniasis to help provide your patient with an effective treatment plan.
The most common causes of vaginitis are:
CellSwab tests for imbalances and presence of microorganisms through Semi-Quantitative detection of Gardnerella Vaginalis and broad range Lactobacillus.
Trichomoniasis (TV)
- It is the most prevalent non-viral STD with approximately 3.7 million cases in the US. (Ref.2)
- The CDC recommends TV detection with Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAAT). NAAT is highly sensitive and detects 3 to 5 times more infections than wet mount (a method with ~50% sensitivity). (Ref.3)
CellSwab + CT/GC
- Obtain an accurate diagnosis for Chlamydia or Gonorrhea for your patient with one collection.
- Provide your patient with the proper treatment options for them and their sexual partner.
